Lately, the school counseling office has been very busy preparing students for the upcoming 2013-14 school year by calling them to register for new classes the next year. One can assume that the class most affected and excited about the next year is the juniors. I've asked numerous juniors the question: What are your hopes and plans for senior year?"I hope that my senior year is just as amazing as this year, only not as rigorous. I have learned so much and had wonderful teachers, but not enough time to relax and act like a teenager with all my friends." — Mikayla Cross, Lexington Senior High School"I would like to enjoy my senior year. I feel like many students become stressed senior year because they must make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. I just want to enjoy each day for what it offers and spend time with those whom I enjoy. — Cole Riggan, Lexington Senior High School"My plans for senior year are to make it count. Some say that in high school there are three things you can have: good grades, social life and sleep. And to pick two, I want to keep my grades up and have fun while doing it. Bye bye sleep." — Katarina Strenk, Lexington Senior High School"My plans for senior year are to get more college offers and watch all my hard work for 12 years pay off and make it one step closer to becoming someone in life." — Ramon Anglin, Lexington Senior High School"I hope to get the chance to earn as many scholarships as I can to get into UNCG. I plan to work hard for an advance education so that I may be able to become a high school English teacher to teach and inspire many other high schoolers to get the right education they need to make a well living." — Chinta Thap, Lexington Senior High School"That it be a great year. Hopefully see new people come to the school. Spend the last year with friends and make it worthwhile. Meanwhile I still plan to work hard and stick to my studies and mentally prepare myself for college." — Saul Pina, Lexington Senior High School"Maintain good grades; stay out of trouble, graduate and get accepted to a four-year university." — Isaiah Moore, Lexington Senior High School."My plans are to maintain good grades (and) apply for colleges and scholarships, and my hopes are to get into the colleges I apply for." — Getsemani Monsalvo, Lexington Senior High School.
